With it still being the middle of winter, I’m always craving for a hot bowl of soup at any time of the day. This recipe is a great homemade soup option to try as its quite simple and easy to put together.
Creamy Wild Mushroom Soup
Making the soup from scratch gives it a depth of flavor that’s earthy, savory, and utterly delicious. This recipe uses 3 different mushrooms, namely shiitake, oyster, and baby bella. Though with a variety of mushrooms available, you can always try to switch it up as well!

Notes for Wild Mushroom Soup
- Blender: You can use a normal blender if you don’t have an immersion blender. Just wait for it to cool a bit before doing so.
- Soup texture: I prefer a thicker soup with a bit more texture. If you want a smoother soup, add more broth and adjust the seasonings accordingly.
- Garlic bread: Serve with some garlic bread on the side for a more filling meal.
